Rooted in poverty?: terrorism, poor economic development, and social cleavages / James Piazza - 2006
Reports the results of a study of terrorist incidents and casualties in 96 countries from 1986-2002. Finds that there is no significant relationship between any measures of economic development and terrorism. Factors such as population, ethno-religious diversity, increased state repression, and most significantly, the structure of party politics, are found to be siginificant predictors of terrorism.
